Eastern Practices and Nordic Bodies: Lived Religion, Spirituality and Healing in the Nordic Countries de Daniel Enstedt

Eastern Practices and Nordic Bodies: Lived Religion, Spirituality and Healing in the Nordic Countries: Palgrave Studies in New Religions and Alternative Spiritualities

Editat de Daniel Enstedt, Katarina Plank
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 oct 2023
This volume explores the reception, development and construction of Eastern practices in the Nordic countries. The focus is on spirituality, medicine and healing from a lived religion perspective. Besides a geographical focus on the Nordic countries and their characteristics, this collection examines the embodied practices aligned with different expressions of religiosity, alternative medicine, spirituality and healing practices. By addressing questions about how so-called Eastern practices are embodied, spread and materialized, the contributors shed light on a cultural change in Nordic societies regarding religious, spiritual and alternative health practices, that are sometimes at odds with the dominant medical discourse about life-threatening diseases and other types of conditions.
